Trip to Utah

We left our house at 7:00 am for Utah and the trip was going great until our transmission killed over just outside of Winnemucca. Travis walked to the little restaurant that was about 200 yards away and called for a tow truck to take the car to a mechanic. The cost for the tow truck to pull us to Winnemucca was $400 . Our insurance only covered $100 of the towing fee, if we had AAA we wouldn't have had to pay anything.

We had to sit and wait for five hours at this little place for the tow truck to come. We ate lunch and then the kids spent the rest of the time playing with the dogs that were there.

Finally the truck arrived and we all sat in the van and got towed for two hours. The first part of the trip in the back of the tow truck Carrie was scared and the kids started crying because the van was bouncing up and down and they thought we were going to roll off.

Someday you will look back and remember your ride in the toe truck and laugh.
